Facing the wave

I took the picture above during my holiday in Terengganu a few months ago.  Actually this photograph is one of my favourite.

I was so spellbound with the beauty of the South China Sea. I was fascinated by the wave that rolled beating the shore.  At the west coast, the wave was not so strong.  Maybe because of the Sumatran archipelago across the Straits of Malacca blocking the winds.

After I uploaded the picture into my PC, I was impressed by the image.  It was a picture of two children (a picture of my son with his friend) facing the wave.  In my mind suddenly I figured something.  The children represents young age while the wave means a challenge or attempt that upcoming.  If we are strong we will stand firm even though we are hit by that wave.  If we fear the wave we would abscond.  And my son ran away when the wave approached him.

I wish he didn't do that when he grows up, escaping the challenge.
